As a teacher, I have a lot of children's authors that are my favorite. As a regular reader, I have a few that are my favorites as well. Lets get cracking shall we :-) I love this blog business. It's to the point where I'm comfortable now and I have no problem being an idiot on it.
1. J.K. Rowling: http://www.jkrowling.com/ I've had her listed as a favorite before so I'm not going to go into detail why I like her so much. Why do it again when previous entries already tell about it. :-)
2. James Patterson: http://www.jamespatterson.com/index2.html James Patterson is another author that I also wrote about. I believe it was my first blog entry ever. So go check back on that one to read about it.
3. Dr. Seuss: http://www.seussville.com/main.php?section=home&isbn=&catalogID=&eventID= Dr. Seuss is one of the greatest children book writers of all time in my opinion. All of his thoughts and stories are so out of the box. It makes a child really use their imagination and a lot of chilren these days are lacking that. With television and video games, they don't feel the need to use it as much. That's why reading Dr. Seuss books is good to read to children. It lets them explore that side of their brain.
4. Shel Silverstein: http://www.shelsilverstein.com/indexSite.html The poems are stories of Shel Silverstein are fantastic. Not many people are fans but I definitely am. I would sit in the basement or by the pool as a child and just read his book of poems. They were entertaining and well written. A child can easily get lost in his books.
5. Stephenie Meyer: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/index.html As a new author, Stephenie Meyer has really proven herself. Having a whole series out in less than a year and having the whole word captivated by her novels is like another J.K. Rowling phenomenan. It was instant fame over night. The movie did really well in the box office, but it was nothing compared to the book. It kept you on your toes and wanting more. We're going to see great things from her.
6. C.S. Lewis: http://www.cslewis.org/ C. S. Lewis is a great author. I loved reading and re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia. I just find it odd that it took some movie producer all this time to decide to do a movie based on the books. The writing and the descriptions are absolutely fantastic. Someone should read these books at some point in their life.

Love this list. Dr. Seuss is absolutely one of my favorites and I keep several of his books in the house for visiting friends, little friends, and sometimes to read on my own. Also i love CS Lewis. My husband recently gave me the wonderful "A Grief Observed."
